“You see someone everyday and you get to see the real person, and at that point when I didn’t really care about his flaws or any other thing because I saw that genuinely if you get to meet TJ he is a good guy,” said Tiwa.

She however was uncertain of her status as his girlfriend, hence she was skeptical making formal the relationship.

“I didn’t know what to say. He wasn’t my official boyfriend at the time. I wasn’t sure if I said he was my boyfriend some girl will come out and say ‘Ey! Excuse me!’… Eventually I had peace about it. I knew it was not going to be a smooth road because obviously he has children as well, and was I ready to handle that?” said the mother of one.

“But eventually the love was just growing and growing and it just got to the point where I was just like ‘whatever it takes, this is what love is all about you are going to tackle it.’ This person is not going to be perfect but we are going to do this.”

Tiwa added that some of her friends and family opposed her relationship with Tee Billz because they thought he was not the ideal guy for her.
